Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding complication of diabetes mellitus. Reasons for loss of vision are diabetic maculopathy and complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) such as vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment.
TRD has been the most frequent indication for vitrectomy in diabetic patients, accounting for 40% of diabetic vitrectomy.
The idea that an endotamponade is not necessary in an eye with a TRD if the traction is relieved surgically without creating retinal breaks.
Persistent subretinal fluid may exist after surgery for tractional retinal detachment (TRD), even when the retina appears fully attached on examination.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been observed to be a useful diagnostic test for the follow-up of patients with persistent subretinal fluid after successful PPV.
The presence of increasing subretinal fluid postoperatively does not necessarily imply surgical failure. Subretinal fluid may accumulate rapidly over a few days and may spontaneously resolves over 2 weeks to 3 months.
